Vince McMahon WWE Board $3 Million Investigation / CEO Resignation Megathread

[Sabretooth]

Not at all lmao your developmental shouldn't even be making a profit, you INVEST in it and it's supposed to make you main roster money in the future, if it can make it's own costs back then that's great but thats a fucking pipe dream lmao

Exactly. If anything it gave them a plethora of developed superstars that they could bring right to the main roster and push them... and even that they fucked up like half of them

And all anyone every says is that the PRODUCT would be more entertaining if Trips took over no one mentions business bc why the fuck do we care lmao it'd probably be the fucking same honestly, shit is just a machine. But to point to NXT lack of profit as a gotcha as proof that HHH woulda ruined the company's business lmaoooooo

 

[Chris]

I don’t mind it on TV. The performers need to be used to the camera and people critiquing them online.

I remember wishing FCW was on TV back in the day.

Needs to just be on Peacock. It's the same concept as far as visubility but without the ratings politics that shouldn't be a priority for developmental and is what's hurt the show since they've moved to USA

 

[Sabretooth]

Yeah like the reason NXT wasn't profitable is BECAUSE it was booked the way it was.

It would mostly be the same. The casuals that fuel the machine that makes it billions wouldn’t stop watching if the BOOKING changed to NXT as long as the brand said WWE, Raw or SmackDown and the NAMES they’re currently associating with WWE are still there.

The only changes I’d see is possibly a few more subscriptions and MAYBE a slight bump on TV.

Tell fans that Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns and Randy Orton and Judgment Day will be there, they probably wouldn’t even notice the booking change.

What was their booking?

Oh dream match from guys from the indies....booker of the year shit.

Only real good angle they had was Ciampa/Gargano and I don't even like Gargano

This guy gets it... it's about brand not booking. Casuals watch Smackdown and Raw simply because they're Smackdown and Raw, not because of the booking. You're not going to convince those people to tune in to NXT just because the booking is better. If you improve the booking on the main roster, you keep the casuals and you please the hardcore fans

Building up superstars, not derailing pushes after a month, consistent storytelling, developing characters, great matches, having a useful spot for everyone.

Also to further add to this, when I said before that I think the company will be worse without Vince I'm still not talking about business, they'll probably make way higher profits lmao but product wise

 

[Sabretooth]

Yeah I'm very curious to see how the product changes (if at all) without Vince. It'll probably be a good ten years or more until that happens... unless this allegation takes care of it

Id watch wwe if the booking was good and ultimately thats all i give a shit about

 

[Sabretooth]

Nah Vince rather have Tozawa, Tamina, Dana Brooke, and Reginald in a Disney storyline... but Keith Lee can't get a push.

Same.

I rode the wave so long. It’s weird not being in the loop.
